Discovery Lab: Get Down with DNA

Scientists call DNA the building block of life… but what is it, and how does it work? In this lab, your family will have the chance to take on the job of a cell and translate a DNA sequence to make important (slimy!) proteins. Then, you’ll have the chance to extract your very own DNA from your cheek cells. It’ll be D-N-A-mazing!

$5 per family of 6 or fewer people/$4 per member family. All ages are welcome, but recommended for ages 8+. Children must be accompanied by at least one adult.
